Last posting dates for Christmas 2025

Whether you're sending out seasonal orders or posting a gift to someone special, it's important to plan ahead so your parcel arrives in time for the big day.

To help you stay organised this festive season, we’ve pulled together the last posting dates for Christmas 2025. Between wrapping presents to sorting travel plans, it’s easy for deadlines to sneak up. So, pop these dates in your calendar and make sure your parcel is ready for collection in time to reach its destination before Christmas Day.

This year Evri and Asda have teamed up to launch ParcelShops in over 300 Asda locations, including Express convenience sites and selected supermarkets, just in time for the festive season. This new service allows customers to collect and return parcels from thousands of retailers while doing their grocery shopping, making it easier to manage Christmas deliveries. The rollout enhances convenience and supports the growing demand for out-of-home delivery options, as part of Evri’s wider investment in expanding its ParcelShop and Locker network.

The posting deadlines for sending parcels in the UK are:

• Friday 19th December – last day for courier collections.
• Friday 19th December – For Standard delivery drop off your parcel by 11am at a ParcelShop or Evri Locker to get it there before Christmas day.
• Saturday 20th December – Drop off your parcel by 11am at a ParcelShop or Evri Locker for Next Day delivery.

We also recommend you keep an eye on our service status page. This will be updated over the next few weeks so you can find out if there are any issues such as adverse weather impacting our service in your area. In addition, throughout the entire festive season, the cut-off for Next Day delivery will be reduced to 11am. This helps us manage the increased parcel volumes during this period.
